Sanlam Indie Website

Designing a digital platform to drive sales and simplify life insurance

Project snapshot

Role

Lead Product Designer

Platform

Responsive marketing website

Goal

Turn the website into a high-performing digital sales channel.


The Challenge

The existing website did not fully support Indie’s growth strategy.

The new platform needed to:

  1. Drive more quote requests
  2. Educate users about complex financial products
  3. Reduce customer service queries through self-service content
  4. Clearly communicate the Indie brand value


Strategy

We focused on three core improvements:

Conversion-first journeys

Guide users toward getting a quote while maintaining trust through helpful content.

Education through tools and content

Introduce calculators, explainers, and learning content to simplify financial decisions.

Simplified structure

Improve the information architecture so users can easily explore products, tools, and help resources.


Design Approach

The website was designed with a mobile-first, content-driven approach.

Key principles included:

  1. Clear and simplified navigation
  2. Interactive financial tools and calculators
  3. Integrated learning content to support decision making
  4. A streamlined quote journey

Initially the design process started with visual design. I advocated to first implement a design thinking process

I established the vision and the strategic direction, prioritising business goals

I hired a research comany and briefed them on doing user testing on the existing live website

Insights generated from the website user testing

I designed wireframes to address the issues and implement the website strategy

Outcome

The redesigned platform created a clearer customer journey designed to educate users while driving conversion.

Although the project was completed, the website was never launched due to an organisational restructuring shortly after my departure.

The work demonstrates the strategic UX thinking and design approach

Frequently asked questions.

At Getmo we like to be transparent. If this FAQ does not answer all your questions, you're welcome to book a free introduction call.

What is Getmo?

chevron_forward

Getmo is a founder-led design and digital marketing studio run by me, Piet Alberts. I offer senior UX/UI, web design, brand identity, and digital marketing as a direct alternative to hiring in-house or using an agency. With 20+ years of experience, you work with me directly.

What design and marketing services does Getmo offer?

chevron_forward

I offer design and digital marketing services across UX and UI design, product design, web design and Webflow or Framer development, brand identity and logo design, marketing design, digital marketing strategy, SEO, campaigns, and landing pages. For hands-on channel work like paid media, I bring in trusted specialists and manage it for you.

How can I hire Getmo?

chevron_forward

There are three ways to hire me. A monthly plan, a design and marketing retainer where you reserve a block of hours. Fixed-price packages, for standard projects like a website. And custom projects, quoted per brief for one-off, bespoke work. You choose whichever suits your needs and budget.

Which option is right for me?

chevron_forward

If you need ongoing design and marketing, a monthly retainer fits best. For a standard, well-defined project like a website, a fixed-price package is the quickest and most affordable route. For one-off, bespoke work, a custom project is quoted per brief. Not sure? Book a free call and I will recommend the right fit.

Who does the work?

chevron_forward

I do, personally. Getmo is founder-led, so every design and marketing project is handled by me, Piet Alberts, a senior designer and digital marketing consultant with 20+ years of experience. There are no juniors and no handoffs; the core design and marketing work is always mine.

How fast will I get my work?

chevron_forward

Most individual tasks are delivered within 48 to 72 hours, with larger design and marketing projects on a timeline agreed upfront. Because you work directly with me, there are no account managers or queues slowing delivery down.

Do you work remotely with clients worldwide?

Yes. Getmo works remotely with clients worldwide. I am based in South Africa and take on design and digital marketing projects internationally, agreeing currency and timelines upfront.
